Chapter 65 Dancing in the Sky: It's just a little bit of hardship.
The next day, the couple took turns working shifts. Long Bing stayed behind to teach Class 1, while Wu Changkong led everyone to a mysterious entrance.
"Students, put on your wristbands. Without them, you will be targeted by the automatic defense system."
Upon hearing this, everyone rolled up their sleeves to check if their bracelets were on properly. Meng Xinghe and Gu Yuena took out their bracelets and put them on slowly and carefully.
In the Spirit Transfer Tower, the Spirit Transfer Bracelet is an all-powerful pass. Even the lowest-level bracelet can be used as the highest-level bracelet if enough permissions are activated.
Even the worst member of Class Zero was a B-rank genius of the Spirit Pagoda, and the bracelet he received contained access to this place.
Seeing that everyone had put on their bracelets, Wu Changkong turned to face the entrance. A dazzling blue light swept across the area, and Wu Changkong disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.
"Wow! It's space technology!" Xie Xie exclaimed excitedly. "I read online that space technology is still in the research and development stage. I never imagined that our Spirit Pagoda was already using this technology. That's amazing!"
"Don't make a fuss." Gu Yuena glanced at Xie Xie. "In this era, the advancement of soul guidance technology is advancing by leaps and bounds. Ordinary people can never imagine how far the most advanced cutting-edge technology has developed."
"Take space technology for example. It has been developed for a long time, but the technology cost is too high and it cannot be popularized for civilian use, so it has not been made public."
"..." Xie Xie was speechless.
The older sister's lesson was right; she couldn't act so naive anymore, it was embarrassing.
The Spirit Pagoda is the wealthiest private enterprise in the Federation, second only to the Federation government. As the saying goes, technology is built with money, so it's not surprising that the Spirit Pagoda possesses some strange and unusual technologies.
As the group took a few steps forward, facing the entrance, a strange sensation suddenly washed over them, as if their bodies were enveloped by some cool, water-like liquid, vanished into thin air, and then reappeared in another place.
This is a mysterious blue space, with a wide, flat, and boundless expanse. A towering tower stands majestically in the center of the space, seemingly stretching to the horizon, as if connecting the earth and the sky, bestowing upon people a stairway to the gates of heaven.
The crowd stood at the foot of the Tower of Babel, looking as small as a group of ants.
"Teacher Wu," Zhang Yangzi swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly, "is this space and this giant tower real?"
"No," Wu Changkong answered directly without keeping us in suspense, "this space is presented to us in the form of a holographic projection."
As he spoke, he pressed the switch on the remote control. The scene before everyone's eyes vanished instantly, transforming into a circular room filled with a high-tech feel. The ceiling and floor were made of deep blue crystals, while the walls were made of silvery-white metal.
"As I mentioned before, the Tower of Babel is a virtual space, so how could it be real?"
"Remember, eyes can lie. Don't be fooled by what you see. The illusions created by Soul Masters skilled in illusion are far more realistic than holographic projections. Be extremely cautious when you encounter such Soul Masters in the future."
Upon hearing this, Xie Xie seemed to have thought of something and blurted out:
"Teacher Wu, the reason you emphasize this so much, could it be that you once suffered a great loss at the hands of a Soul Master who is skilled in illusions?"
Wu Changkong's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a cold and aloof demeanor. His gaze, as icy as eternal ice, fell upon Xie Xie, sending chills down one's spine.
Back then, that person created an illusion, making him mistakenly believe that he had accidentally killed Long Bing... Afterwards, that person stayed in the hospital for three years before being discharged, but still suffered a lifelong disability.
Because that person was a descendant of the Chen family, the Sea God family, he caused a series of unpleasant incidents. In the end, he left Shrek Academy with Long Bing and joined the Spirit Pagoda.
Long Bing naturally agreed wholeheartedly; if it weren't for accompanying Chang Kong, she wouldn't have enrolled in Shrek Academy.
Xie Xie had never seen such a cold look in Teacher Wu's eyes, and he was terrified.
Could it be that Teacher Wu wants to kill him to vent her anger?
After a long while, Wu Changkong let out a long sigh and said calmly:
"It's just a little bit of hardship, nothing to mention."
"Xie Xie, among everyone in Class Zero, your combat ability is the worst. In addition, your martial spirit has only recently evolved and you are still not used to it. So, I'm giving you the first chance to play the tower rush game."
Xie Xie felt as if the sky had fallen.
You're not a teacher, yet you're using your position to settle personal scores!
Teacher Long Bing clearly said that multiple people can attempt to reach the Tower of Babel at the same time. I was the first to play, wasn't it because I wanted the other students to see how pathetic I looked?
Wei Xiaofeng and the others covered their mouths and chuckled.
It's all Xie Xie's fault for being so foul-mouthed; he never thinks before he speaks. Now look what happened, he's stirred up a hornet's nest.
Under Wu Changkong's manipulation, Xie Xie gradually disappeared from everyone's sight. At the same time, the holographic projection technology once again demonstrated its power, and everyone was suddenly in a battle space, immersing themselves in watching Xie Xie's tower-climbing process from every angle.
"Xie Xie, a tower climber, is currently at level 1 and is randomly simulating an opponent..."
Xie Xie looked ahead warily. A blurry figure kept changing, and after about three seconds it gradually became clear. It was a boy with an ordinary face and bright eyes.
"Heavens! It's actually the first Tower Master!" Xie Xie's lips curled into a wicked smile.
The simulated opponents in the first level are only slightly stronger than ordinary soul masters at the same level, so even slightly talented soul masters can pass the first level.
Xie Xie strode forward, his Time-Space Sacred Dragon Martial Soul activating, and with a casual flourish, defeated the simulated Huo Yuhao in a single move. After the fight, he struck what he thought was a cool pose, knowing others were watching, so he wanted to show off.
The true Huo Yuhao's divine consciousness: "..."
He strongly suspected that the Spirit Pagoda had secretly altered the probabilities in the background, because out of every ten Soul Masters who attempted to ascend the pagoda for the first time, seven of them would be randomly matched with themselves as their opponent on the first floor.
Hehe, you all enjoy the thrill of defeating the first master of the Spirit Pagoda, right?
When I return, I'll make you pay!
……
Xie Xie, who had stopped at the fifth floor, was teleported out.
In fact, with Xie Xie's combat strength, he shouldn't have stopped at the fifth level, but he insisted on showing off and defeated the simulated opponent with an absolute crushing attitude, without conserving any soul power, which is why he fell at the fifth level.
"Xie Xie, you've disappointed me greatly. This time, your tower-climbing score will be recorded in the assessment record." Wu Changkong shook his head regretfully and looked at the others.
"The Tower of Babel tests not only combat strength at the same level, but also how to defeat an enemy of the same realm with the least amount of power. Generally speaking, those with higher combat strength at the same realm and higher cultivation level have a greater advantage in the tower challenge."
"Aside from Meng Xinghe and Gu Yuena, you are all Great Soul Masters. For your first attempt at the Tower, my requirements are not high. Just make sure your scores are not lower than Xie Xie's this time."
